Great review! My ADV160 is like yours with a top box. I really think this is the best overall small displacement scooter you can get. Very practical, has enough power to get around, tons of storage, and in my opinion looks great. With its versatility I find it hard pressed to consider any of the other alternatives. I find any excuse to run errands with it. Im in the states so I also have a CB500x which I think makes a great pair with this scooter for the longer hauls. Out of all the literal 30+ bikes I've owned through the years, I think its safe to say these bikes are keepers for the foreseeable future. Ride safe!
Great video as usual! I was up in Valencia today and talked to a guy with an ADV 160 that had the same seat as yours. He let me sit on it, and I was absolutely amazed at how much more comfortable it is than the stock one which irritates my butt big time. It’s definitely on my wish list.
Thank you, I can order a seat for you
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Where did you get the seat? I'd like to order one
@@nathangagnon989 On Lazada
Thanks Harro. Right now I'm riding the RE Hunter 350 but I've always been interested in this bike. Maybe I'll pick it up next year. Thanks for sharing the upgrades too. I'll look you up for sure when I'm there. Would love to catch a ride with you.
Welcome, I’ve seen your 350 in your videos , very cool bike and sounds great too. Duma is only a 6 hr ride from Cebu so if you do make it down here I can show you around
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Nice. Love the bike. Just have to work on storage. I'll be down to Duma and for sure let you know
nice review...gonna get one hopefully this week or next week...ciao
The cvt upgrade and a comfi seat is on my wish list,thank uou for info sir ride safe olways godbless
Hi Mark, great video. I also have an ADV160 in San Carlos, Neg. Occ. but am still living/working in Australia until I build my house in Phils. I'm really interested in the mods you have done to your ADV. I also noticed the seat on mine is not very comfortable, having toured from San Carlos to Bias and on to Valencia (Forest Camp) and return. We also done day trips in to the mountains near San Carlos, like the monkey sanctuary at Calatrava etc. Anyway, great video and useful info. My name is Mark also.
Sorry for the late reply, next time you are down this way d
let me know 👍
Liked the interview with Mark.
I came home from work channel 👍
Great video, I like the look of all these colour options - congrats on your bike and thx for sharing. You got a great deal @ P162,000, 2k savings is great to go towards your upgrades. I like the option of the seat upgrade over the stock one for sure, to me this type of bike should be a standard stock item. Doing that CVT upgrade - does it effect warranty? The SEC box looks awesome, where did you get it and the bracket? You mentioned dual horns, a must - what type did you go for? - do you have a switch over or ... You mentioned Joseph who works out of Raddi near Foodnet on the way out of Duma towards Robinsons did the work - what did he actually install for you, time frame did it take for him get these items done for you - cost wise as well??? thx Is the big foot just a slide on for side stand
Hi, Apologies for the late reply 🙏. Changing the cvt may affect the warranty, i’m not sure. These bikes are fairly bulletproof. The horns Inuse are Piaa, loud like a bus lol.
Joseph has left Raddi so i just use Honda now. The bigfoot is a slide on with allen key bolts, well worth getting one.
Cost to change the cvt over is around p350 pesos. I just bought everything online from Lazada and got him to fit them all
Have had my ADV160 for 8 months here on Bohol. Love the bike, except the seat on long distance rides. Want to see if i can find the same seat as you have, looks a lot more comfortable.
I got mine on Lazada for 3200 plus 632 shipping. Is super comfy but you sit higher a bit
Appreciate all your advice, heading over tomorrow AM😊
safe trip mate
Nice review. Thank you. I have a question though regarding the CVT upgrade? Does that change your top end speed? I would imagine it does. And probably also affects the gas mileage in a negative way. I’m curious to know the answer to those questions. It sounds like it may be worth the trade regardless. PS. I am a brand new expat to Chiang Mai as of three days ago though, I’ve been here several times over the years for months at a time. I’m very excited as this morning my girlfriend is coming to pick me up to take me to buy my pearl blue 160 ADV!! 😅
Hi, Thanks for asking about the JV T CVT upgrade. Top speed is comprised a little but I still managed approx 110kph. Filling up the tank is cheap and I suppose gas mileage depends on throttle twist lol. The main advantage of the upgrade is acceleration to pass so whatever extra gas it uses was inconsequential to me to be honest.
Congrats on getting a new ADV ! enjoy !
I do like the 14in front tire on the ADV over the 13in on the NMAX.
I love how you did this bike
thank you
the video was very interesting for me , especially because in a few months I will be touring in the Philippines myself with an ADV160 that I will rent locally. Which mobile phone holder do you have on it?
I actually bought one from a store called Miniso, found it to be great
Subbed. Cheers mate.
Hey Brother love the bike I have one just like it ! I live in bacong were did you have the CVT drive installed ? I would like to have that done Thanks
I got raddi to change it over but you can also use Honda opposite Shell
Do you have an upgrade list written down? Looking to buy 1 for the first time and want to price out the parts for upgrades and couldn't make out the CVT you swapped to. And never mentioned what seat you upgraded to. The seat looks amazing. Thank you for your time
Hi, The CVT is a JVT brand available in Lazada.
The upgrade list is
1. The CVT change
2. Seat change
3. Horns
4.Rear hugger
5. Rear shocker cover
6. Big foot fir side stand
7. SEC box and rack x rack
Couple questions if you don't mind?
1) With those mods would you ride it say around Mindanao, 200-300km per day for a couple weeks? Or still more of a Duma up to Twin Lakes or down to Siaton distance round trip?
2) Any other mods on your mind to improve comfort or performance?
3) Have you looked at the Kymcos (they at the Kawasaki dealer), specifically the DT-X360 350? Another 'Adventure' scooter like the ADV 160 but is it worth another p100k (is it 100k better for longer rides)?
Hi, I’d ride the adv anywhere and all day but usually i limit my riding to about 5 -6 hrs per day, e.g Dumageute to Cebu Coty in one day.
Kymco scooters look great but for me i’d esther stick to a well known brand and as such Inhave a Yamaha xmax 300 for longer hauls as i’m bigger and like to stretch my legs a bit more. The ADV is a little restrictive as far as leg room goes compared to the bigger scooter. If you really want to travel around spend the money and get the bigger one as comfort is the priority. If you aren’t so tall or heavy then the ADV will be fine for anywhere you want to go. Please note that the bigger scooters are much heavier by approximately 50kg. Good luck
Links to the CVT and Seat would be much appreciated. I'm not finding anything trying to search.
Looking for something like this. Thanks Harro
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
I want to buy the new 2024 model ADV 160, but its not available yet where I live. They have the 2023 model, but it is unknown when (or even if) they will get the 2024 model. I see there are some differences (new engine is slightly more powerful, 4 valves instead of 2, 2 liters more underseat storage, higher adjustable windscreen, slightly lower seat). What do you suggest - better to wait until the upgrade is available? Or, just get the 2023 model - differences are not noticeable? And, I am curious if you test-rode the PCX 160 and have any comments on the pros and cons compared to the ADV 160?
Hi Matt, The 2023 model has the 160cc engine like the PCX which has 4 valves per cylinder so no need to wait around for the 2024 model in my opinion especially if you do the upgrades I recommended even if you do the fly weights changeover you will notice a lot of acceleration improvement. Seats can be modified or changed over to suit easily.
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Thanks for this great reply! I am confused and need to do some more research. First, Honda dealerships here led me to believe that the 2023 model is 150 cc. Later I was told that the 2023 model here indeed is 160 cc, but didn't have those upgrades yet (more powerful engine, 4 valves not 2, 30 liter underseat storage, higher windscreen, etc.). Then just yesterday I heard from another YTer that the 2024 model IS available here with all the upgrades (at least at a Honda dealership in a different city here). I will have to go back to Honda and hopefully can get to the bottom of this!
@@MattZimmerman-ng3gq Messge me on messenger at harrow riding the islands
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 OK, just did.
Hello! Can you tell me where in Dumaguete I can have the CVT replaced? Do you remember the parts name? Thank you!
I’d go to any Honda dealer, I bought mine online at Lazada but the Raddi motorcycle shop in Dumaguete had them. The JVT brand one I bought is no longer available on Lazada but there are other brands on Lazada. Hole this helps ?
You're the guy I want to know! I just watched a video with you and "everyone has a story". I'm currently living in Panajachel Guatemala and am planning on moving to the Philippines as soon as I can. (probably about 9 months)
I've been researching bikes there as I've had 4 here in Guatemala and what I really want to do is ride all over the country. I've pretty much done that here and there's too much traffic and the roads are horrible. The town that I live in has become like NYC in the last two years. I did something that I haven't done since I lived in Brooklyn and I moved out of there in 1993. (I approached a driver looking to fight him)
The bikes I'm looking at are the Kawasaki Versys 300X and a scooter. I've been going down a rabbit hole of scooters and decided the Honda ADV would be the one I want to get first. But I have questions. I've heard that it takes a while to get a plate so you have to wait to a few months before you can ride your brand new bike. Is this true? If so, I guess I'll hit the ground running and buy a cheap ass used scooter first, then get a new one and wait. Where is a good place to find good bikes?
Currently, I've got a shitty little Italika Scooter 125 that's held together with zip ties, but damn that thing starts up every day and gets me around town. I have a Chinese knock off Adventure bike for when I need to leave town. (TMR Cyclone 200) So I want a grocery getter scooter for most of my local riding, and an adventure bike for the Philippine Loop. Maybe by the time I get there, Kawasaki will make the Versys the 4 cyl 400cc that's in the Ninja.
I was also looking at the CB500X, but I like my bikes light and nimble and not too fast. You see, I have a speeding problem so it's best for me to have slower vehicles. If I get to meet you in person next year, ask me about my 92 CBR 600.
Thanks,
Dave
Hey, Nice to meet you! I have a facebook page under the same name, Send me a message there and we can have a chat over messenger
Can you please share the model of the cvt upgrade?
@@ianandrewosullivan7755 It was a brand named JVT, CVT upgrade
Can you name where you got the CBT upgrade? Thx, i just got one!
I bought mine in Lazada here in the Philippines. The brand is JVT
Nice 👍
Nice design but 160cc engine is too slow. Might be ok for touring around Asia but elsewhere it will be slow. I owned a Kymco 300cc and even that was slow.
Agree and have since upgraded to anKTM 390 Adventure which is perfect
I would love to see a test from you on the Honda ADV350. I know it is difficult to pull off for you but hey, a polite request is the least i can do.
Unfortunately I can’t review the 350 as they don’t have that model in the Philippines but when I get to Thailand i will
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 That would be great! I am sure you will get the 350 in the PH soon.
The perfect bike with top box & ccv upgrade for riding the islands M....unless they bring the 350 adv to the phils??....or is the lightness & flickability of the 160 the ducks?.....pends how many islands you were riding i guess!......have you lapped Siquior?...yet....slower pace...longer stays in higher end resorts....sounds like a plan...ha...go easy mate.
Id love the ADV 350 but to be honest I don’t think Honda will ever bring it here. The ADV 160 is a great little bike and is different to the 150. I did a lot of riding two up on the 150 and it was fine but towards the end of using it I wanted something different. I’ve lapped Siquihor a few times on the ADV 150 and enjoyed it, lay back island that it is. I’ve taken the xmax 300 on lots of ferries too and it’s reasonably light but can be heavy to manoeuvre and pu on the centre stand, it weighs 180 kg, 50 heavier than an Nmax. Stayed at coco grove in Siquihor, very nice resort, cheers
Thank you Harro! This would fit our needs I think.
That box is nice.
For a tall big guy would any suspension mods be needed or helpful? I take it the stock tires are good.
Welcome, stock suspension and tyres are adequate for me and i’m 100 kg plus my passenger 50 kg
Thank you sir! Perfect.
Hello Mark, I enjoyed your upgrades on your ADV 160. I just got mine a week ago here in Dumaguete and starting some add on accessories. Your CVT set up, are you using straight flyballs or a combo set? What size do you find works best for around here? Can you recommend a shop to do that work and also install Mini Driving lights? Thanks, I enjoy your vids.
Hi, Glad you enjoyed the upgrades, O forgot to mention the dual horns and the big foot for the side stand. All my work is done by a qualified mechanic named Joseph who works out of Raddi near Foodnet on the way out of Duma towards Robinsons
P.S. I think i used a combo of weights 10/12 g
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 hello sir, thank you for the excellent video. can you please do an exact parts list, maybe in the text below the video? your viewers would appreciate it (exact names, model numbers, prices)
thank you
@@paulbarclay4114 SEC box available on lazada, Rack X rack also on Lazada, Rear hugger, shocker covers, dual horns ( Fiam), comfort seat, JVT CvT drive, all on Lazada. Prices may have changed. Hope this helps ?
Hello Mark, where can i buy the hand guards on the handle bar? I’m in the US
Hi, I bought them off a person on facebook marketplace here in Manila
Nice review again.
What type of phone holder do you have on the bike and what brand is the seat if I may ask. Not that I have a big butt but I do weigh 110 kg, so a stock seat struggles to give me adequate support 😄
Thanks, the phone holder I bought in a shop called Miniso. It’s great, fits all phones…..I have an IPHONE 13 plus so it’s big. The seat Is aftermarket and I bought it for P3200 on Lazada.
Thanks!
Good Afternoon,again a Big Thank you,I have taken delivery of my ADV. Have ordered some upgrades.I am having a difficult time locating the same seat,have looked on Lazada , Shoppe and another.I can not find the same. Many look like but red stitching the material pattern is different,I hate to be a pain in your A** but could you send me the link or model #that you used Thanks Again.
Mega force motorcycle accessories on Lazada or send me your email and i’ll send you the link
Thank you so much,when we come through your area,will contact you and see if you would like to have dinner.Thanks agt
Thanks again
Great video,where can i find the cvt to jvt conversation online , where did you find,Thanks
Lazada
Nice Vid.. Im looking for one of these in the Angeles City area.. Curious when you changed the CVT.. did it make it vibrate more.. what are the downsides of doing this mod?? Thanks in advance for any input.
I changed the CVT after the first two up ride as it was underpowered esp going up hills. It revs higher lower down and maybe vibrates a little more but the benefits out way any downside issues like needed ig to replace the roller weights every 5000-7000 kms and that’s a maybe depending on the quality of the CVT set. I bought the JVT set from Tawain and so far it’s fine. Hope that helps ?
Thanks for sharing Harro. Waiting for the 2024 adv to come out. Where did you get the cvt drive from?
Welcome, I bought the CVT drive off Lazada. It’s a JVT CVT drive with 10/12 ball weights ( standard are 16) and a 1200 clutch spring, makes a huge difference
@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 thanks will check out then
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581
Hi, nice looking ride! Just wondering, you get the full set from JVT and went from 16g to? Not sure what you mean by 10/12. 10g and 12g mix?
Have you got a link for the cvt conversion as most of the ones ive sen on lazada are just unde 3000pesos.
they have discontinued them
Hi Thanks for the review, Could you please post what brand and model # of CVT mod you did. How much top end did you give up to increase quicker acceleration?
The CVT drive is made by JVT in Tawain and I bought the full set with a 1200 RPM centre spring. The bike really is much quicker now and the top end peaks at 108-110 kph with two onboard
Thanks for the review. Is there any word on if the ADV-350 will be available in the Philippines?
Not at all, only the 750
Hi. What is your helmet? Thank you!
It’s a Nolan, made in Italy
N70,2 x
Hi could you please provide the details on ordering the cvt upgrade. Thanks
Hi Justin, I ordered my set online on Lazada. Search for JVT CvT set. Hope this helps ?
Ok, so have a weird one, would you ever consider a TVS King as I have nephews with wife to cart around and want the rain protection. It’s only until I buy a truck when I move over full time
I’ve driven one of them not to long ago. They have a purpose of course but for me i’d rather drive a small car like my Suzuki Turbo Wagon, much more multi purpose in my opinion.
If you really wanted to go native then consider buying a chariot, they offer full rain protection and go anywhere on rough roads. New price is good also.
Yep, the TVS is only 3200us and would give me a bit more family use until I move back over after selling my Landrover to buy a truck, just coming over to process my SRRV and get married 😃 if I make it up by you would like to see your 300 and your ADV side by side to decide but you advised as I’m 6’2 325 to go for the 300 I believe…always look forward to your videos as they are informative not drama😂
@@JT-mf3dm You are most welcome to try out any of my bikes if you make it down here 👍, I leave the drama to the other vloggers here lol
Thanks for sharing! Do you loose some speed in the top end with the JVT CVT?
With a passenger top speed is 108 kph which is quick in The Philippines !
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 I agreed. I guess loosing 10-15 Km/h in the top end isn't the end of the world when you gain more power in the lower speed range, where you need it at most.
Does the box make the ride feel different?
Not at all
Hi Mark, love your channel!
Any chance you will be selling your ADV 150?
Hi, Thanks, Do you mean the ADV 160? I don’t have a 150 anymore.
Ok, yeah, I thought you still had your old one, the red 150 😊
I’m currently staying in Valencia and I’ve rented various bikes for the last 1.5 years and now looking to buy a new bike for the fist time here and your channel has been super helpful!
@@KJ-xy2jm Grest to hear that you found my channel useful. I’ll sell the 160 but it will cost you 180 because if all the extras
Thanks Mark, what is your email, and I’ll contact you on the side. 😊

Do you know where did you bought your tire hugger at the rear? Love to know tho
On Lazada
What brand is that seat? Where did you order it?
Also the full rear mud fender?
Hi, I ordered the seat and rear tyre hugger on Lazada which is like Amazon over here. Just search ADV 160 comfort seat
What brand seat?,
Doesn’t have a particular brand name but Onfound it online at Lazada. Just typed in ADV 160 comfort seat. If you can’t find it i can find the link, just let me know
Hello. Great job. Can you give me some contact information for the store where you ordered the parts? How long have you been waiting for delivery? Regards...
I bought all my parts online on a shop called Lazada. I had to wait a week for delivery.
Hope this helps ?
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Cool. Many thanks for your answer. I asked because sometimes from some stores you can wait weeks for the shipment. Regards
Where did u score your seat?
Lazada
1:48 said ADV 150 Not 160🧐🫢
Will be available in Europe??
Not sure, it’s available in Thailand and i’ll rent one when i’m there
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Nice
How much does it cost in PHP?
